Thanks Gerry, I sometimes wonder if I will ever got it finished 😂😂👍

Happy belated birthday! I never mind your 'rabbitting' as I pick up important bits and pieces that way. All the best from Missouri.

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Hi to you in Missouri 😁👍🏼 thank you 😊

Nice job on the painting...hello from Vermont USA

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Thank you, and hello back from little old Coventry 😁😁😁👍🏼

[@canicebannon]

Happy Birthday Steve! Really looking forward to seeing the shower go in. And the kitchen units…. That was a big collapse in the house. I bet you’re glad that’s back to normal. Onwards with the decoration! Magnolia and white, builders delight!😂😂😂

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

When I said just paint it Magnolia her in doors gave me one of them look 😂😂😂👍

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Thanks Canice 😊😊👍

Steve: Here's an idea - you had mentioned that you want to have the ceiling painted with the signboards of some of the various Canal boat companies of the past... It sounds like you still want a little wood to show on the boat for trim, so how about leaving just a few inches of the ceiling wood showing around each "signboard"? You would still minimize the wood, while still showing it off as an accent, while having the "signboards" as the main showpiece panels. And I'm from the Stampede City - Calgary Alberta, Canada!

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

That’s a great idea! Not sure when I will get the roof painted yet but it’s on the list 😊😊👍🏼 Stampede city!! There is definitely a story behind that city name 😁😁👍🏼

@@NarrowboatPreciousJet Every year - at the beginning of July, we hold the world's larges Rodeo... The Calgary Stampede! 10 days of Western-themed drunken partying - and we invite the whole world to come for the party! Personally - I'm getting too damn old for that - although I do go down for the amusement rides occasionally...

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Wow that must be amazing, I’ve seen rodeos on the tv and think those guys must be crazy 😂😂👍🏼

[@normmcrae1140]

@@NarrowboatPreciousJet I've known some of them in person - and they ARE CRAZY!!!! Particularly the Rodeo Clowns and Bull Riders! I can't think of anybody with a shred of sanity who'd willingly get on top of 3000 lbs of angry bull, and then pray that 2 idiots in clown suits can save my life after he throws me off!

Hi Steve .Enjoying watching from Yorkshire. You are doing a great job in your restoration of the boat & respect for that superb engine. Cheers Andy

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Thanks Andy, the engine is the reason I brought the boat!!! It is awesome and at some point in the future I hope to do a video on just the engine 😊😊😁👍🏼

[@BEAR_UK]

Please do a vid. I want to know what those rods through the cabin do.

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

The rods that run through the rear cabin are the engine and gearbox controls! One rod put the gearbox into forwards and reverse, the other rod controls the speed in the engine 😁😁👍🏼😊

[@BEAR_UK]

Oh nice one, thanks. Proper engineering then. Looking forward to a vid on Old Smokey.

[@Tony-nn3gl]

Safe and be lucky, mate, regards to the wife and family. I guess the wife is looking forward to the boat completion.

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Lady PJ is not a massive boat fan, she likes the relaxed days cruising but don’t think she will live on it 😂 you take care to Tony 😊😊👍

Hi I live in Melbourne Victoria Australia and I just discovered your vlog. I have a caravan that I enjoy pottering with before I take it on a trip! If we had canals I think I would have a narrow boat!

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

You very welcome along our journey! I love the idea of an outback camp trailer then going to explore Australia!! The would be amazing 😁😁👍🏼

Excellent video as ever. I’m really enjoying watching how to go about refurbishing a Narrowboat. Glad I bumped into you on the Ravenglass & Eskdale railway.

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Ha ha ha you don’t need to tell me where you are as I know already! And what a very beautiful area the Eskdale valley in the Lake District really is 😁😁👍🏼

To help remove 6he tile adhesive try spraying it with methylated spirits or surgical fluid. It softens the dry adhesive.

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Wayne that’s very good idea! The adhesive is quite powdery so I may try water first see what happens 😁👍🏼

[@pauliethetree8129]

In America the car inspections go state by state, some states more rigorous than others. Here in Texas it takes about 10 minutes.

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Here it’s the same test all over (supposed to be) it is quite a rigorous test and normally takes 40 minutes or so 😊😊👍🏼

Here in the States, it is up to the individual state to require car inspections or not. Here in Alabama, we do not have that but when I lived in Pennsylvania we did.

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

I do find if strange not to have a mandatory safety test for cars! But I suppose that’s because that’s all I’ve ever known here in the uk!! 🇬🇧😁👍🏼👍🏼

Greetings, well since you " love the comments"...here you go ,I've been watching this refit for awhile notice how thorough you are. Borderline OCD , but in fact I do appreciate the detail of your work. Did you put a spacer at the top of the board before the wires? Cheers TTFN 😃

There is space above the bulkhead for the wires, when I get round to sorting the wiring I will fit a strip of conduit 😊😊👍🏼
